Yeah, new clutch - RPS Max 6 Puck and the turbo ate crap and the motor is actually done. I am getting the motor rebuilt and a street port added. I am not sure which seals to use ( 2mm or 3mm)..... Then I add the goodies, TD08, 720cc Primary's and 1300cc Secondary's and all the Re Amemiya gear, PFC and the list goes on..... Could do 500WHP with that setup, but I want this one to last...haha so a conservative 400WHP on pump gas, I will be happy about.
Suggestions on a good tuner with rotarys?
And yeah, I am on rx7club....
How's that gorgeous MK4?

I would go with the 3mm seals , but thats just me , are you going to port the engine as well? But defianlt get the PFC FIRST!! A good tuner on rotorys? Hrmm i think its silverrotor on RX7 forums who knows how to do it properly .
MK4 is awesome , im also looking for another FD

I was thinking 3mm aswell, but its not how they do it in Japan, they swear on 2mm even with an 800hp monster. I want to find out why first.
What do you mean port the engine? I am new to rotary's! Do you mean machining the housing's? If so, yes.
I might look into a Bridge Port instead, still need to do more research on that.... I have heard that an extra Bridge Port will weaken the motor and will NOT last long...... I read the opposite! I read its the best mod to do as it doesnt change the motors durability that much. That was word for word!
The PFC is a for sure, It will be coming from Japan * New *
Have you heard anything about Cam @ Lightspeed Innovations with tuning rotary's? I have heard he knows his stuff in that department. Is Silverrotor local?
I saw that you are looking for an FD shell, do I smell a piston motor swap?

Why go with 3mm seals? You are increasing the friction surface by 50%, and machining off the harden surface of the rotor to fit in the thicker seals. Doesn't make sense to me. I know shops like to use them so they can use off-spec rotors and tout thaty they resist detonation "better".
rx7club.com has tons of threads on this, I would read through them and make up your mind about them.
In any case, it's good looking car and I look forward to seeing it run next summer. I do hope all your mods go together well.
In choosing a tuner or shop to get work done on your RX-7, get impartial references of thier work through thier current or past customers. You don't want to find out the hard way that they don't know what they are doing.

I went 3mm on my old FD , Adam at RX-7 specialties swears by them , and it is done in most 20bs that can over 1000hp.
But for your porting of your engine , dont go Bridge port , you wont get warranty on it , and it is STUPIDLY loud!

Yeah I must say I agree what you say about the seal size. I will do some research. Good thing is I have 5.5 ish months to complete this. I am not pulling the motor until march anyway. I think next year will be more autocross with this car. Dragging is addictive to me so ofcourse I will be doing some runs.Originally posted by Akagi Redsuns

I would not do 3mm seals. I know Adam swears by them but take a look atthe dyno plots of 2mm cars vs 3mm cars. 3mm cars run out of steam at or before 7000 rpm due to friction whereas 2mm seals keep on going with more power. Plus during detonation I highly doubt that the extra streangth provided by 3mm is enough to actually prevent failure and have yet to see any proof otherwise.
Add on to this that Mazda has never used 3mm seals in any enjine (wouldn't they choose better reliability over power especially for street cars) and the whole compression issue with 3mm.
I think 2mm is the way to go!
